Chapter 360: The Shocking Fall of the Divine King, Shi Hao Stuns the Crowd! (Part 2)
Chapter 360: The Shocking Fall of the Divine King, Shi Hao Stuns the Crowd! (Part 2)
It's too chaotic!
The entire venue was in chaos, with people crying and cursing everywhere.
"This...?"
Shi Hao retracted his neck and looked at Huo Zhen, who was struggling in front of him, and quickly dispersed his thoughts, not daring to continue.
A deafening rumble echoed as thunderbolts like dragons and snakes filled the sky, and the tribulation clouds layered upon each other, seemingly about to crush the entire small world.
The small world trembled.
It seemed like it would collapse and shatter at any moment.
"Oh my god!"
He was terrified.
Fortunately, as he stopped cultivating the Three Flowers Summit and no longer focused on condensing the flowers, the tribulation clouds, though frightening, never descended.
A thunderous boom reverberated.
Two more deafening roars followed, and finally, the tribulation clouds slowly dispersed.
"Phew..."
"We're saved!"
The Cultivators who had already been scared to the point of peeing their pants were directly paralyzed on the ground, and some were still trembling.
They were finally saved.
But...
They were in a daze, gritting their teeth and unable to remain calm for a while.
"Who the hell is it?!"
"..."
Countless people were shouting and cursing, wanting to know who it was.
Shi Hao didn't dare speak up.
He quickly retracted his neck and changed the subject, "Huo Zhen, take my move!"
Huo Zhen was stunned.
"Huh?!"
"Well done, Little Shi, you're truly remarkable. Facing such a deadly tribulation, you remain unmoved and unaffected. I admire you!"
"You fought valiantly!"
"If you're willing, I can introduce you to my Heaven-Splitting Sect, and you can cultivate the Heaven-Splitting Path!"
"..."
"I'm not interested. I'm doing well in Moon Holding Sect, and besides, it's not certain that I lost!"
"Then be careful!"
Huo Zhen forcefully stabilized his mind and used his sect's supreme technique, the Heaven-Splitting Sect's supreme technique, to temporarily weaken Shi Hao's foundation, making him weak and unable to fight again!
Shi Hao grunted, reversing time and ignoring the effects of the supreme technique, maintaining his peak state. Simultaneously, he used the Willow God Technique, unleashing an unstoppable offensive force!
"Well done, Suanni Treasure Technique!"
Huo Zhen roared, not dodging or avoiding, and forcefully clashed with Shi Hao.
Boom!!!
Both of them unleashed their ultimate techniques, one with exceptional talent and the other with a higher realm.
But at this moment, they were evenly matched.
In the end, they fell into a stalemate and both suffered heavy injuries, unable to continue fighting.
"..."
"Impressive."
Huo Zhen panted heavily, "Indeed, as you said, I can't defeat you."
"Sigh."
Shi Hao sighed softly, "My plan was flawed, and I can't defeat you either."
"Let's call it a draw."
"Then a draw it is."
The two had no choice but to end the match as a draw.
According to Shi Hao's plan, if he could condense even one flower of the Three Flowers Summit, his attack power would surge, and Huo Zhen would be unable to block it.
Unfortunately, there was no 'if'.
Moreover...
Why was the Three Flowers Summit so terrifying? He was just trying to cultivate it, yet he encountered the Heavenly Tribulation? He didn't understand.
But Lin Fan was even more confused.
"Heavenly Tribulation?"
"..."
"Did I have a memory problem?"
"When I condensed the Three Flowers Summit, it didn't seem like I encountered the Heavenly Tribulation, right?"
Lin Fan scratched his head, "Could it be... that Shi Hao is the destined one, so he's different?"
"That does make sense. After all, he's following the template of the Desolate Heaven Emperor. If he successfully condenses the Three Flowers Summit, it would be of great significance, and he might be able to rival the 9th Realm once he succeeds."
"Hiss!"
"What a freak!"
"But I like it."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Fan stood up and paced, "The Nine Secrets are indeed powerful, but it takes too much time to create them one by one. How about we put it on hold for now?"
The complete Nine Secrets were incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring.
But creating them one by one required too much time.
Instead, "Let's prepare Shi Hao first."
"With his comprehension, I don't need to create it for him. I just need to teach him the theory, and he can figure it out himself. But the Transformation into Freedom Technique..."
"Once I successfully create it and give it to him, this 'Desolate Heaven Emperor' will have achieved 'small success'."
"Transformation into Freedom, Transformation into Eternal, Transformation into... Desolate Heaven Emperor!"
"Tsk!"
Shi Hao was already very powerful.
At the very least, he was by no means weak.
At such a young age, barely over ten years old, he could fight on par with Huo Zhen, who possessed the first-ranked combat strength of the Central State Holy Land. If not for the appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation, he might have even defeated Huo Zhen.
In a sense, he was already at the level of a Holy Son's combat strength!
Once he cultivated the Transformation into Freedom Technique, he could directly create a future Desolate Heaven Emperor, emmmm...
Even if it was just a shadow, just a millionth of his strength, it was enough to blast all enemies of the current era.
"It's decided!"
"First, create the Transformation into Freedom Technique."
"-——If it's possible."
"..."
...
"A draw."
Elder Xian frowned.
"This result needs to be discussed."
Who would have thought that such a competition could result in a draw?
However, they could all see that Shi Hao and Huo Zhen had indeed given their all and were truly at their limits. If they continued fighting, they might both perish.
So, it's still a draw? But...
A draw, who advances? It's unfair for either to advance.
Both advance?
That's not right either.
"..."
"A draw."
Elder Xian stroked his beard, "Only one person can advance per round. Since you two are tied, there must be a winner and a loser."
"Since your strengths are evenly matched, let's settle it with a game of rock-paper-scissors."
"Rock-paper-scissors???" Everyone was startled.
An elder from Three Saints City spoke up, "Elder Xian, is it too frivolous to determine the winner with a game of rock-paper-scissors?"
"Yes, Elder Xian, the Prodigy Grand Tournament has already reached this stage. Using rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner is indeed a bit frivolous."
"It may seem frivolous, but it is actually the fairest method."
However, Elder Xian waved his hand nonchalantly, "Luck is also a part of one's strength, and luck represents one's fortune."
"The Heaven's Pride are children of fortune, and whoever has the greater fortune will win."
"It makes sense."
"This..."
They looked at each other, and after a moment, they all nodded in agreement.
There was nothing wrong with this reasoning.
...
"Shi Hao, Huo Zhen, do you both agree?"
Shi Hao grinned, "I have no objections."
Huo Zhen nodded, "Since you have no objections, neither do I."
"Alright, let's play rock-paper-scissors." Elder Xian looked at the two of them.
But...
They already had a premonition of who would win and who would lose.
"Sigh, it seems I can't advance." Huo Zhen smiled helplessly, "However, even if I lose, I won't have any regrets. Shi Hao, your talent is truly astonishing. It's the best I've ever seen, even my sect's Holy Son and Saintess may not surpass you in talent."
"Given some time, you will surely dominate an era."
"Fighting you to a draw is not something I can't accept. Even..." Huo Zhen paused, "I have a premonition."
"In a few years, when I talk about this, it will be my lifelong glory."
"Even..."
He paused, "I fear that in the future, no one in this world will be able to fight you to a draw."
Shi Hao scratched his head.
Such praise made him feel embarrassed.
"Don't say that, we haven't played yet, and the winner is still unknown."
"Haha!"
Huo Zhen laughed heartily, "That's true, but you and I both know that in terms of fortune, I am far inferior to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been forced to such an extent by you, even across realms."
"Do we even need to compete in this 'luck' contest?"
"Three."
Elder Xian spoke up.
Shi Hao spread his hands, "Then why don't you just concede?"
Huo Zhen: "..."
"I still want to give it a try."
"Two!"
"At least, in the future, it will be known that I, Huo Zhen, did not give up or concede against Little Shi, but fought until the very end."
Shi Hao blinked, "This..."
"One!"
The two played rock-paper-scissors.
As expected, Shi Hao advanced.
"Congratulations."
Huo Zhen smiled weakly, "I look forward to your continued victories, to the moment you enter the top twelve!"
"I'll do my best."
Shi Hao took a deep breath, indicating that he would try his best.
"Doing your best is enough."
Huo Zhen waved his hand.
The two of them were simultaneously teleported below the arena.
...
"Hahaha!"
"What did I say earlier?!"
Shadowless Sword Lei Zhen laughed wildly, "How about that?!"
"Did you see that?"
"If you didn't see it, open your eyes wide and take a good look. It's the Moon Holding Sect again, and their opponent was Huo Zhen!"
"You all know the name Huo Zhen, right?"
"On top of that, a ruthless person defeated Jiang Liu'er. Do you have anything else to say?!"
"Who was the one with foresight?"
"I'll bet on it, it's a huge joke!"
"Why are you silent now?"
"Don't be silent!"
"Come on, open your eyes wide and tell me, who is stronger?"
"Also, tell me, what the hell is the Moon Holding Sect?!"
"!!!"
Lei Zhen was so excited that he jumped a hundred feet high.
It wasn't just about saving face.
More importantly... the bet was successful!
"Win a few more times, keep winning!!!"
"Win against a few more Holy Sons, and the Moon Holding Sect will be unbeatable. I, Lei Zhen, will soar to the skies!"
Quietly, Lei Zhen clasped his hands together and muttered, as if praying to the heavens, hoping that the Moon Holding Sect would suppress all the Holy Sons and directly crush the contemporary Heaven's Pride...
Just thinking about it made him feel incredibly refreshed!
If it really turned out that way, he would not only save face but also make a fortune, which would be simply amazing.
······
"How is it?"
Long Ao Jiao stretched her body lazily, "The Central State Heaven's Pride, is it as I said, just that?"
Shi Hao chuckled, "If I were a few years older, I'd be able to say the same."
"Heh."
Long Ao Jiao smiled lightly, "Your talent... well, it should be able to rank in the top three. A mere Central State Heaven's Pride, what's the point?"
"Hmm?"
"Quickly grow stronger, I'm looking forward to the day you challenge me!"
"By then, I won't hold back."
"I'm also looking forward to it." Shi Hao's eyes gleamed.
Compared to Huo Zhen and the other Central State Heaven's Pride, it seemed that Long Ao Jiao was indeed a more challenging opponent.
"However, I need to leave for a while."
"Leave?"
Everyone was startled, "Where to?"
"To get stronger!"
Shi Hao took a deep breath, "My master said to strive for a good ranking, but after fighting Huo Zhen, I realized that I'm not enough, not nearly enough!"
"He only let me end in a draw, what if I met a Holy Son?"
"If this continues, won't I even fail to secure the top spot in the group stage?"
"So, I need some time."
"Is there enough time?" Queen Medusa spoke calmly, "You are indeed extraordinary, with unparalleled talent, but there aren't many people behind you. If you delay too long, you might be deemed to have forfeited."
"If that's the case, it's better to leave, perhaps I can win a few more rounds."
"I'll give it a try."
Shi Hao naturally understood this reasoning, but he had to try to condense his first 'flower'. Otherwise, even winning a few more rounds wouldn't matter, and he still hadn't defeated the Bu Tian Saintess from another group.
Since they were both going to lose and not make it out of the group stage, the ranking didn't matter much. It was better to take a risk.
As long as he was fast enough...
Perhaps he could catch up.
By then, even if he faced the Bu Tian Saintess, he wouldn't be completely hopeless.
"The Great Demon God is also there." Xiao Ling Er thought for a moment, "In that case, there shouldn't be any problems. With the Great Demon God there, unless something major happens, you don't need to worry about your safety."
"Be careful."
Shi Hao's departure was for the purpose of getting stronger.
As the senior sister, Xiao Ling Er naturally had no reason to stop him.
With the Great Demon God present, she could rest assured.
"I'll go and return quickly, everyone, please take care." Shi Hao left without hesitation.
"Be careful, don't be careless."
Xiao Ling Er and the others reminded him.
······
Shi Hao temporarily left, but the Heaven's Pride Tournament continued.
Although Shi Hao unintentionally caused a big mess, they were all cultivators.
Only those cultivators who were scared enough to wet themselves felt embarrassed, quickly leaving to change their pants. The rest, although embarrassed... didn't show it.
Or rather, everyone was panicking, why feel embarrassed? If they were to feel embarrassed, it should be everyone together.
Since everyone was embarrassed... give or take, wasn't it as if he wasn't embarrassed?
No big deal!
As for the Moon Holding Sect, their losses were increasing.
Wang Teng was unlucky, encountering a God Son from the same group early on, and losing.
In the end, he ranked in the top twenty of the group.
S
He was ranked in the top eight of the group.
Of course, this wasn't Su Yan's true strength, if he were to fight seriously, he could kill his opponent several times over.
His cheat wasn't suitable for sparring.
At least, revealing his methods during sparring wasn't wise.
Jian Zi also lost.
His Ethereal Sword Technique was strong, and the Holy Spirit Sword Technique was even more so, but his cultivation was still a bit low. When he faced the God Son of the Concealed Sword Manor, he lost by one move.
He was ranked in the top twenty of the group.
Although it seemed like a relatively low ranking, when the news reached the Spirit Sword Sect, the entire sect was filled with unparalleled joy, cheers lasting for three days, with red decorations everywhere, even more festive than the New Year.
Top twenty in the group, guaranteed a spot in the top two hundred of the Heaven's Pride Ranking...
For the ordinary first-rate sect Spirit Sword Sect in the Southwest Region, this was already an exceptional performance, an unexpected joy, and they burned high-quality incense in celebration.
······
"I lost."
Jian Zi returned to Wang Teng and sighed, "Master, it seems we have similar rankings."
"Disciple, I'm indeed not happy, but it's not because of the ranking. It's because I lost too slowly."
"..."
Wang Teng was stunned, "Is that so?"
"Yes." Jian Zi spread his hands, "The reason I'm not happy is because I lost too slowly."
He shook his head, "These Heaven's Pride, they aren't that strong, each one like that, even I thought I'd lose in the first round, but I kept waiting until now..."
"Just one loss? Do I need to challenge all the Heaven's Pride with higher rankings?"
Everyone's mouths dropped, "..."
Impressive!
As expected of the Ancient Chaos successor!
